I’m only saying, these variables factor into how people choose to read scripts.īridget is in her 30s, lives in New York, and works at a publishing house. I’m not saying you can never write your version of Dune. I’m going to pick the script that I know is going to go down easy.ĭon’t worry. And by the time I was able to sit down and work on today’s post, it was 8pm.ĭo you think I’m going to open the equivalent of Dune: Messiah under those circumstances? A 145 page tome of a gigantic universe with a million characters and a ton of mythology to learn before I can accurately understand what’s going on in the story? No way. I was running around town all day, having to do a bunch of things. You know how I know this? Cause it’s how I picked today’s script. They know they’re going to be able to get through it easily. Why? Because they know the read isn’t going to take up their entire night. When that is the case, the script they will most commonly seek out is the one that’s under 100 pages with a simple concept. These people have a pile of scripts to read. That speaks nothing to their personal lives, which also take up a lot of time, especially if they’re married with kids. And they probably have 3 or 4 fires they have to put out that day. They have meetings they have to go to that they don’t want to be in.

The plot literally follows a woman named Emily who is in a relationship with a zombie named Walter. Roske has created a vast gap between the plot of Zombie Love and its theme. The comedic tone really does soften the blow when the reader realizes more and more that Emily's friend Kathy really does perpetuate hatrid with no quit.
